Prophecy by David Wright & Carys

On ‘Prophecy’, David Wright is joined by vocalist Carys and extends his musical palette to a degree that
may surprise even his most devoted fans. ‘Prophecy’ has both an oceanic and a space theme, yet neither dominate the album. The structure is typical 'David Wright', but the music has a somewhat different feel, with the beautiful vocal textures of Carys adding another dimension; and with themes blending
effortlessly together to the extent that they form a complete piece, one is unlikely to play only a single track from this album.
‘Prophecy’ incorporates elements of electronic, space, ambient and rock music that will reach deep into your psyche to induce visions of “A journey from the ocean to the stars”. Beginning with dark, gentle ambience, the album builds slowly and evocatively to rhythmic and sequenced sections that ebb and flow through cosmic passages to the album’s dynamic finale.
David is expert at orchestrating simple ideas, and the evolving ambience and recurring synth themes contained here hold your interest from the start. The varied vocal input by Carys adds an almost spiritual dimension to the music: her plaintive whale cries, as part of the dense textured layers and as ‘lead’, are stunning, while the short, central spoken section is deeply moving.
‘Prophecy’ took over a year to record utilising a vast array of synths, deep ocean sounds and authentic space sounds courtesy of NASA.
“A stunning journey through the cosmos with a breath-taking narrative quality”. OWR.
“A celestial offering that is a beautifully played and produced venture towards the more cosmic end of the
synth music spectrum that is both worthwhile and successful”. CDS
